1 Shaping the future Aalto University Vision, Mission and Strategies
2 Foreword When founded in 2010, Aalto University was given a national mission to strengthen the innovative capacity of Finland through first-class research, art and education. The Finnish Government and other founders made significant investments to launch Aalto University. After six years spearheading the renewal of the Finnish university system, we are now reviewing our progress and updating the strategy of Aalto University for the years The international recognition of Aalto University has risen quickly due to our unique profile and novel approaches to tackle the challenges posed by a rapidly evolving knowledge economy. Recruitments to our newly established tenure-track career system for professors have pushed forward the research and artistic performance and the internationalization of the community. We have restructured our Bachelor s curricula into a few broad programs, increased pedagogical education, and developed crossdisciplinary learning platforms, such as the Aalto Design Factory. Entrepreneurial education is now offered for all students. Our unique student- and alumni-driven entrepreneurial activities and a vibrant start-up ecosystem include the following internationally known brands: Aalto Entrepreneurship Society, Startup Sauna and Slush. We have increased the involvement of industry in our educational and research programs. We have invested in leadership development programs and redesigned and streamlined our internal services. Rebuilding our main campus in Otaniemi into a thriving innovation ecosystem involving our academic and industrial partners is under way.

We have already made significant progress on several fronts, and our efforts will continue toward our ambitious goals. We will focus on enabling new research spearheads who are at the international top of their fields. We will develop artistic activities to drive creative research, invigorate innovative economies and initiate, reinforce and challenge global thinking and practices. We will promote the emergence of a multi cultural and diverse academic community because the success of universities relies to a great extent on their ability to attract the best faculty and students. We are building even stronger partnerships with industry and businesses for mutual benefit. We will partner with our students as co-creators of our educational curricula and entrepreneurial activities, and as the builders of our future. We will work hard to ensure the wellbeing of our people in the midst of the demanding change process of Aalto University. Our vision carries a strong commitment to building a sustainable society driven by innovation and entrepreneurship. Our strategy entails building cutting-edge knowledge and technology that will enable us to offer solutions to the most pressing societal challenges. We will create innovative capacity through the convergence of first-class science, art, technology and business, which gains momentum from long-term partner ships with the best universities, industry and business. I am convinced that, supported by a strong value-base of passion, courage, freedom, responsibility and integrity, our new strategy will inspire us in the next five years toward fulfilling our ambitious goals. 8 December 2015 Tuula Teeri, President 3

5 Operating environment Circle Photo: AALTO DESIGN FACTORY There are several significant trends that will influence the future of Aalto University. Research and higher education are key drivers of knowledge economies. The world wide race for new knowledge and innovation is getting tougher. Universities face global competition for the best faculty and students. North American universities with generous endowment funds and a tuition-fee system for students continue to dominate higher education rankings. Asian nations are making huge investments and rapidly improving their performance as knowledge economies. European governments, struggling to keep up with the competition, are focusing funding on their best-performing universities and expecting efficient translation and dissemination of research outcomes. In Finland, economic challenges have led to decreasing public funding for higher education, research and the innovation sector as a whole. At the same time, rationalization and profiling of the Finnish university sector is strongly advocated. Currently, the world is confronted with grave challenges concerning, for example, climate change, energy supply, health care and nutrition. In Finland, we also have the challenge of an aging population and economic dependence on successful exports. Solving such complex challenges will require convergent research by cross-disciplinary teams of experts and extensive stakeholder networks which constitute Aalto University s unique competitive edge. Another asset of Aalto University is access to unique research data in national public databases, corporations and non-governmental organizations. Global and national challenges offer ample possibilities for disruptive innovation with significant potential for improving human life, protecting the environment and stimulating major growth in the economy. Finland s current national research priorities offer further opportunities with strategic investment plans in several areas aligned with Aalto s key competence and focus areas. To address major societal changes, we need systemic solutions that build on user-centric approaches and new, value-generating business models. Successful universities in this era will not be those who replicate old practices but will be the ones who dare to explore and experiment in new, creative ways. Within Aalto, we have great opportunities to be at the forefront of future development by building a truly excellent, genuinely creative and multidisciplinary university that is well integrated in societal and economic development. 5
6 The way forward Core elements of our strategy Mission Shaping the future: science and art together with technology and business We are building a competitive edge by combining knowledge from different disciplines to identify and solve complex challenges, and to educate future visionaries and experts. 6

8 Building on strengths Aalto University s four competence areas and three integrative multidisciplinary themes that link them. The foresight, understanding and expertise of our people academic freedom constitute the corner stones of our research and teaching. We will invest in long-term, high-quality research, which forms the basis of educational leadership and paves the way for paradigm-breaking innovations. We are striving to build a university that is more competitive, more focused but also more collaborative across disciplines. Following an international peer assessment of our research quality in 2009, we held a community-wide discussion, and seven key areas were identified as the cornerstones of our research endeavors. Aalto University s research is based on a science and engineering core with recognized excellence in information and communications technologies and digitalization as well as materials and sustainable use of natural resources. Excellence in art and design knowledge building and global business dynamics complete our research profile. We are strengthening our competitive edge by continuing to focus our recruitment and resources on our key areas of competence. Our academic core converges into three integrative multi disciplinary themes addressing major global and national challenges: advanced energy solutions, human- centered living environments, and health and wellbeing. Our positive impact on societal and industrial development relies on interactive networks with our partners and collaborators. The three elements of our strategy are research and innovation, art and creative practices, and education. These core elements will be manifested in four dimensions: research and artistic excellence, multidisciplinary collaboration, a culture of entrepreneurship and tangible societal impact. 8

15 Strategic objective Educating game changers Grand challenges call for the education of professionals with the knowledge and capabilities to build a sustainable society and to increase wellbeing through disruptive change. These capabilities need to be rooted in disciplinary excellence augmented by art, creativity, multidisciplinary collaboration and entrepreneurship.
